Are you serious right now? It was a typo. Give me a break and find something better to do with your time.

Thanks everyone for the replies! I am probably just being paranoid, but I DO NOT want to risk it.

I was thinking about this, but wasn't sure how accurate they are. Also going to try the first suggestion of getting an Rx. ty!

Hey everyone, I have a drug screen for a new job coming up. I don't usually get headaches, but I had a BAD one recently. My mother gave me one of her migraine pills (Fiorcet), which contained butalbital. I didn't even think twice about it. Now I am concerned that because it is a barbiturate, it will show on my drug screen. I've searched the threads and internet, and have found that at most it can be detected in the urine for 3 weeks. It will be 22 days between taking the 1 pill and my urinalysis. I do not have a Rx for this medication. Should I be worried? FWIW, I do have a Rx for Ativan, which I have written down. I just don't want that to look bad on me on top of the HA medication.

It's possible. A friend of mine got hired in to a big name North Carolina ICU before we even graduated. She was one of the top 3 of our class and worked hard for it.

Anyone, please.

In that case it is a duplicate thread. I posted in the other board for a wider response.

I have done extensive research through old threads, however, I'd still like to post for feedback. For Florida specifically: I am a newly licensed RN (BSN). The only ding I have is from 2004, when I was 18 years old. A misdemeanor of possession of marijuana less than 20g. I pled no contest, there was no conviction, and it was adjudication withheld. (Side Note: this charge did not show up on my criminal background check for nursing school because they only checked the county listed on my drivers license. The offense happened in a neighboring county where I have no past addresses, utilities, phone numbers, etc. I have no ties to this other county where the offense occurred.) I was honest on all job applications about my criminal history. I was selected to interview at a huge level 1 trauma center in central FL. I interviewed and got the job Now I was sent to the third party company, PreCheck, for my background check. Again, I was honest about my history. I checked "yes" to "Have you ever been convicted or pled no contest or had adjudication withheld for any charges..."I have to admit I am feeling uneasy about my job offer being cancelled because of this 12 year old charge. What do you guys think? I know people post about how they've gotten jobs with felonies, but I can't help but to be worried.

Question as a new grad RN. When I was in NS, I experienced this...Say the RN or a tech are checking blood sugars and there is a friend or family member in the room and that person asks "so what's his/her blood sugar?" or without even being asked, the nurse or tech taking the BG says "your blood sugar is 200"... It would be a no brainer to just answer the question, but it seems to me that could and would be a violation of HIPPA without asking the patient, assuming they were A&O, for permission first?
